Dye your eggs with non-toxic dye before you hide them. Always wash your hands before cooking and only choose eggs that don't have cracks. Cool the eggs immediately after cooking and refrigerate them until you're ready to hide them. Place the eggs in cupcake liners to keep them clean during the hunt.

Choose safe spots when you hide Easter eggs outdoors. Avoid trees, tall bushes, cars or Dad's work bench area. Try swings, small wading pools or empty birdbaths as hiding places. Small plants and sandboxes might get the tykes' hands a bit dirty, but they're safe havens for Easter eggs. Conceal the colorful treats in mailboxes or in helmets and bicycle baskets.

With so many nooks and crannies available to explore, be prepared to do a little tidying after the kids have traversed the living room.
